In Japan, school years and fiscal years start on April 1, and by May there’s something called “May sickness,” when students and workers start tiring of their new schoolwork or jobs. But here at Krishna.com, no matter what month of the year it is, we never get tired of spreading Lord Krishna’s glories. Life’s never boring at Krishna.com, with new content to add everyday, orders to ship out, live shows to broadcast, Vaishnava’s to film, kirtans to record, and questions about Krishna to be answered. This month we feature a new section under each multimedia outlet called “Kirtan.” Put on your headphones and immerse yourself in devotional music dedicated to Lord Krishna. Enjoy!
Your servants,
The Krishna.com Team
